No 38 West Wales (British Railways Past and Present)

‘British Railways Past and Present’ is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago and comparing them with the same scene today. The contrasts are often dramatic, while sometimes hardly anything had altered in 30 or 40 years. Whatever the change, the comparison of ‘past’ and ‘present’ will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast and historian, but also anyone interested in our recent history. In this volume covering Kent and East Sussex there are over 260 photographs in black & white and colour featuring: * Lines to the Kent coast - Margate, Ramsgate, Folkestone and Dover * The East Sussex coast - Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings * The North Downs, Oxted and Medway Valley lines * Closed routes to Gravesend, Whitstable, Westerham and Groombridge * Preserved lines - the Bluebell Railway, the Lavender Line, the Kent & East Sussex Railway and East Kent Railway.
